Halloween Smoke Break

I'm taking a 10 minute smoke break (though I don't smoke) to tell you that fun like this is what makes me love my job...this is my boss.

Breathe Wisdom Over Me

With your very own hands you formed me; now breathe your wisdom over me so I can understand you. When they see me waiting, expecting your Word, those who fear you will take heart and be glad. I can see now, God, that your decisions are right; your testing has taught me what's true and right.

Oh, love me—and right now!—hold me tight! Just the way you promised. Now comfort me so I can live, really live! Your revelation is the tune I dance to. Let the fast-talking tricksters be exposed as frauds; they tried to sell me a bill of goods, but I kept my mind fixed on your counsel. Let those who fear you turn to me for evidence of your wise guidance. And let me live whole and holy, soul and body, so I can always walk with my head held high.

Psalm 119:73-80

Baby Preacher

This made me laugh out loud. I hope you can view it.

To Friends...

There's a song by Watermark that I enjoy playing on the guitar around the house. It speaks of friends. The chorus says, "you've been more than a friend to me, you fight off my enemies, you've spoken truth over my life. And you'll never know what it means to me, just to know you've been on your knees for me. Oh you have blessed my life, more than you'll ever know."

There's also a line in it that says, "when I leave (you) I feel like I've been with God."

I was blessed today to have lunch with one of my favorite people, Amy Ladd. I hadn't seen her for a couple of months, so I was thoroughly looking forward to it. The above lyrics definitely remind me of my relationship with her.

I went into the lunch thinking that I wanted to sit across from her, and tell her how much she meant to me...but she beat me to it. For upon her arrival, she expressed her love for me. I wanted to somehow bless her today, but instead she surprised me with a gift. A gift that represents hope. She gave me the above wall hanging. I was surprised by the gift, but not her kindness, for she is always SO kind.

I can tell you that this is true: When I leave her, I feel like I've been with God.

I also had fun this evening going to Paula's Bible Study at church. Opening our Bibles, and our hearts. Sharing with one another, and learning more about God, and the amazing way He loves us.

Here's to friends. Friends that we can have pure, godly, intimate relationships with. Opening our hearts to one another, learning about God together, and sharing how God is working in our lives.

Who Do You Trust?

Markets fall.
God's love does not!
Who do you trust?

I saw this on a church sign today. I felt God's love as I read it. Thought I'd share.
